About this Learning Opportunity
As Mathematics teachers, it is helpful to understand how you engage with the math texts (paper or multimodal) you encounter. By having this understanding, you have more tools needed to more effectively assist your students to think as mathematicians. In this session, you will be given an opportunity to become more cognizant of the thinking you - as a mathematics teacher - use as you engage with various text. With this new metacognition, we can add to your lessons to improve student mathematical thinking and application.
